Sorry for the cryptic title,

I've an MXR Phase 90 and I've a strong desire to replace the 3.5mm PCB mounted jack with a 2.1mm jack. I'd like to replace it with a barrel jack mounted off the board but I don't think there's space.

Is it possible to Macguyver a standard 2.1mm pcb jack to fit in the same space? Maybe by bending the leg or snapping one off - so the mounting is reasonably strong but the power in is standardised.

I don't really like extra adaptors on my daisy chains....

Thanks for reading, hope it's clear what I'm asking :)

I would try these, although they don't lift the battery off when DC jack is plugged in... ?
